Despite the abundance of meat and sweet treats at the festival, Jordan Schrier said the fruit at her booth sells quite well.
“People walking by are like, ‘Ooh, healthy stuff,’ and get excited,” Schrier said.
Schrier works at the Wilson’s Gift Shop and Garden Center booth on Cherry Street. It offers apples, trail mix, candy corn and peanuts mix, caramel apples and watermelon. You can even choose to roast your own marshmallow on a miniature roaster to build a s’more.
But the hot item at the booth is the fresh watermelon.
Cooper Zimmerschied, 7, and his sister Katina, 2, begged their dad for pieces of watermelon as they passed the booth. Each picked out a slice, one with as few seeds as possible for Katina.
